"When I find something I love, I have to have more than one." Does your hubby knows about that, LOL???June, I LOVE your peonies. Actually I'm not sure what I love more. These gorgeous flowers or the gorgeous pictures you take of them. I can't get enough of them, so just go ahead with your obsession :-)!Hugs to you,Julia

Good morning gorgeous! Peonies, foxgloves, delphiniums and more, are slowly bowing their heads in peaceful sadness as summer is becoming too hot HERE to bear. But their beauty out your way is still beaming with gladness. You blog is absolutely stunning dear June! PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU! Anita

Yes, you are my Peony girl!! I absolutely love all your flowers but you out do yourself with your Peonies! I dug up several Peony starts at my mothers old place last year. I'm hopping next year they will bloom. It will be a surprise as to what color they will be. Thank you for stopping by, I always look forward to your comments. Big Hugs to you!! The other June

Don't you find that people who love peonies also love hydrangea, and lilac, and well........ everything soft and lacey. I have peaked back several times at the image of the huge bouquet in the blue pale. Maybe in the cold of winter you will refresh our memories with the image again.Enjoy the beauties.

Hi June,I have to admit the green eyed monster is starting to come out a little! lol I LOVE peonies in pastel colors and sure am having a heck of a time growing them. My son even chopped one plant off last week when he was weedeating here. When I found it I just yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Oh well...this too shall pass right??Hugs~

Since I missed my peonies blooming this year, I'm really appreciating your beauties, June! Such gorgeous photos. They are without a doubt my favorite flower. Now if they only bloomed a tad longer than they do, I would be thrilled.

Hello June:) I too have become addicted to YOUR Peonies. lol I planted so many this year that I lost count. They were very small so I am hoping they will come up next year. I never tire of looking at your gorgeous garden. You are always such an inspiration:)~Debra xxxCapers of the vintage vixens

June, it was soooo good to hear from you!! I am still getting my feet wet back in blogland, but looking forward to the big dive, hoping to reconnect with many old friends, and find new friends. Your peonies are gorgous. Peonies will always remind me of my Grandmother, who loved them too and had big beautiful bushes of pink and white ones in your garden. I can smell their sweet scent still! And I remember how her and I would stand side by side during the summer and pick the june bugs from the bushes so they would not ruin the flowers. When her house was sold, the bushes were dug up and my sisters and cousin now all have some of grandma's peonies. I love that they are still in the family, keeping "MomMom"'s memory close. big hugs to you, debby

I always pronounced them "pea-o-nees" so when a friend here said "pea-u-neez, I didn't know what she was talking about. I took a survey at school, only showing the word "peony" and asking individuals how they would pronounce the word. Most everyone pronounced it my way, with the long "o" which according to the dictionary, is wrong. :)

Your peonies are absolutely gorgeous! No wonder you love them so much. Have a fabulous rest of the week. Tammy

June tour peonies aew amazing!!!I love how you have so lavishly displayed them.They are a bloom that deserves to be flaunted all over the house!!They are my fave and their petals are heavenly!!Thank you for sharing..I dont mind seeing them..even a million times!! :)Happy day!!

Dear June,Your peonies are stunning and you have so many of them. It is impossible to have just one favourite flower, but peonies are very high on my list and, unlike fries, cookies and soda, they are not fattening.....unles you eat too many of them !!!! hahaWill you be drying some of them ? Hope that you are recovering well June and not over doing it.Thanks so much for your lovely comment over at mine yesterday. XXXX

Dear June, I so love you are obsessed with peonies because I just can´t grow them here, no good climate and soil for them... so I breath in all the beauty you create with your sooo wonderful delicate pale peonies... I was waiting for your post and knew it was going to be gorgeous and you will como up with more beauty? this is so great!!!!!muchos cariños y abrazos

Imagine - a bed full of pink peonies - *bliss*! One of my visions of Heaven is clouds of pink peonies, and me in the fragrant centre of such a cloud.Beautiful photos - thanks for taking the time to share them with those of us whose peonies were too new to bloom this year!

I might not be able to grow peonies here in S. Cali or even buy fresh cut ones but at least I know if I want to indulge in their beauty all I have to do is visit your beautiful garden my sweet friend....Even if it is just virtually :-) Your peonies are gorgeous. Hope you are doing well.

Oh sweet June....they are absolutely MAGICAL!!!! Peonies are my very favorite and I look forward to your gorgeous posts of them ~ and even to see them dried makes me swoon!!! You are in your element girl, you have the greenest thumb that there is ~ thank you always for sharing the beauty that surrounds you dear friend, hugs and love, Dawn

Hy, your peonies are just wonderful and I give you right, every hour in the garden has an other light and so the flowers have an other aspect and have to been photographed every time! I do the same with our roses in the garden!I am a fanatic of roses!Enjoy plenty of your time in the garden, regards, Barbara from Switzerland

Oh June ~ your peonies are so beautiful!!! Ours are long gone so it is so nice of you to share yours with us. Everything seems to be prettier in your garden where the summers are cooler. We're in the midst of a nasty heat wave which is stiffling for everything that must live outside. Your pillows and fabrics are such perfect companions for your peonies. Wish I could see them all in person.

Oh they are so beautiful. I so enjoy seeing your pics as our's are long gone for this year. The peony is one of my favorites and we bought 2 of the itoh peonies this year. I can't wait for them to bloom next year and share pictures. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi JuneI have been waiting for your pics of peonies, they are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. They really flourish in your garden.My humble plant produced only two flowers this year. As we rent I have been growing it in a pot but I think next summer I must plant it out. I can always dig it up if I move.Hope you are now fully recovered and feeling great again.Wendy

Darling June, every thing is so stunning, soft, heavenly in your home and garden!I've seen your other blog, but I wasn't able to leave a message ...I saved so many photos: your garden is a dream!Have a peaceful WESilvia

Good evening JuneYou always have the most beautiful peonies! I always thought roses were my favorite flowers but when I see your photos I lean towards the peonies! We are settling in nicely in our new Condo and anxious to have the new owner of our home take it over Aug 1st. I will be happy to give up my garden and yard work and share in the beauty of yours! Have a great Summer my friend!

Oh my, these photos are so gorgeous! I hope you wouldn't mind if I use one or two as my desktop background. How I miss the sweet smell of Peonies.

I have an addiction with my garden too but my husband hates it because he has to help me move things around. Maybe one day I'll have as many peonies as you do! I'd like a lot of Roses too! And Hydrangea's. And . . . well, see?

Such a lovely flower! I remember arriving in Paris years ago where my daughter was living at the time. I walked into her little apartment on the west bank and there was a huge glass bowl of peonies, falling every which way! Charming and such a beautiful welcome to an enchanting city!

Hi June! Peonies are my favorite flower on Earth! By far! No other compares in my mind. To see them growing would be a dream come true. We can not get them to grown here in California but we can buy cut ones and I do whenever possible! Enjoy yours and I am happy you get to grow them right in your yard! Kim

Aaah June... I'm hopping on a plane! It would be incredible to meet you in your amazing garden!!I popped by just to say that I was thinking of you. And that your garden and pictures often come to my mind and I have to come here and have a second look- they make my heart smile big!Hugs,Monica xo

HI JuneI can't believe you have peonies blooming in July!They are gorgeous, I appreciate your pictures so much. I missed my blooms when I was in Washington for a month.Hope you are well and in your garden but not overdoingBlessings todayRebecca

JunieGirl...I want you to know your flowers are the best I've ever seen. :) My hydrangeas actually grew this year and I thought they had died-ed. :( I am so happy. Will never have a garden like yours but I'd be happy with one fourth of the beauty.

oh what a dream, now I must fill my garden with peonies one day too! Just adore them, especially alongside your pretty pillows, thank you for letting me escape into your beautiful world just for a moment xx

I found your blog today and I am so glad I did! It is so lovely! I love looking at all your beautiful flowers. I dream of having an English garden, but here in Central Texas, I doubt that will happen any time soon! I look forward to reading more of your blog!

Hy June, Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog! I will try to translate my future comments on my blog, so that you can follow them a little better;-)The name of your blog is so lovely - I like it so much!Enjoy the rest of the week, bye, Barbara from Switzerland

Hi June,I read your comment on Suzanne's blog and what a wonderful surprise your blog is...The peonies are just amazing....and you are right...they just give and give and give...I will come back and visit you often!ox

We don't grow peonies here, and I find them just luscious. I'm so glad you love taking lots of pictures of them, June! But your shots are so much more even than the Peonies. They are transcendant. So much beauty.
